Thursday Big Blue Smurf Blogging: What They Said

Today's honoree: Distributorcapny, who just blew my mind completely with this post about tonight's Countdown Worst Person, Darrell Issa, who, after seven years of Republicans treating the 9/11 attacks as though they were the worst thing that has ever happened in this history of this country, has decided that it really wasn't so bad after all.

Question for Mr. Issa: So you're saying that we're spending trillions of dollars on a war for nothing, and that there really IS no need to wiretap the entire country?

Honorable mention from the MSM: Dan Froomkin:

Yoo's memo is a historic document. It is the ultimate expression of Cheney's belief that anything the president or his designates do -- no matter how illegal, barbaric or un-American -- is justifiable in the name of national self-defense.

It is also an example of how enabling zealots to disregard the rule of law and the customary boundaries of human conduct leads to madness.

And that is the state of the US after seven years of the evil that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and all of their enablers have wrought.

The question for Americans is, will we make sure that after January 20, 2008, the evil stops? Or will we elect another president who will continue this insanity? Have we wised up, finally, and realized, that yes, it really CAN be that bad?
